I've got a play date...

with the Play Date Cafe challenge!Hi friends! So over on the TGF blog I saw that they are sponsoring the Play Date Cafe challenge this week and this was a new one to me. But as soon as I saw that it was a color combo challenge I knew that I wanted to play along, 'cause those are always a lot of fun! Their color story is green, white and a neutral... not as much color as I usually go for so that made it a real challenge and another way to shake things up a bit. Creeper Syren was singing her siren call to me and convinced me that this was just the card for her to live on and I was powerless to say no. ;)Isn't she a beauty? I fell in love with this little Creeper as soon as I laid eyes on her and I totally hope that she is just the first in a whole school of these finned Creeper gals (insert puppy dog eyes for Marie and Jess right here, LOL!) I colored her up in shades of green to go along with the challenge and even added a green pearl scepter for her to rule her undersea kingdom with. The rest is just a sheet of pattern paper that I stamped the bubbles, sentiment and sea horses onto. I think it makes for a pretty cool kelpy seabed home for miss Syren.All in all this was a fantastic challenge and I will definitely try to make time to join the PDCC fun again in future challenges. :)Toodles!

Hi Amy. I was just heading to bed and it occured to me that I never did get a chance to check out your card for today. This is so pretty, and just perfect for the challenge. I love how you have colored Syren and I really love the lace that you have used on the edge. Great card my friend. Hugs, Lisa

Beautiful underwater scene!! Your seahorses are perfect!! And that sentiment is too cute!!

I ran into the same run-on sentence problem today the you've been having (no pun intended!). Try putting the HTML code < then b then r then > (take out the words then and put them all together with no spaces. That is a code for break and should put the next sentence in a different paragraph. Hope this helps!
